Health Care for All! Really?

What are the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are they useful?

Every person should have access to health care to achieve the highest possible standard of mental and physical health. This is a fundamental human right. However, due to the very different socio-economic and political contexts around the world, this has yet to happen. Can the SDGs solve this?

The panel will give a reality check on the potentials and constraints of the SDGs to transform health inequity.
